As one of the most well known cities in the world, New York is thriving (Burnett & Klein, 2016). New York is located at the northeastern part of U.S and borders with Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Canada, and the Atlantic Ocean (New York, 2016). The governing leader and governing style helped New York become such a great city by many ways. The governing leader and governing style of New York City has impacted New York by mainly through constantly creating high tech industries, effectively responding to threats by strong military forces and building museums to provide citizens different art perspectives.

The governing leader has impacted New York by creating high tech industries not only for citizens to use, but also for trading with other countries (The world factbook, 2016). With the world leading high technology innovator and second largest industrial output in the world, New York factories produce petroleum, steel, motor vehicles, chemicals, electronics, lumber, and mining (The world factbook, 2016). New York also has the second largest output in the world, with 20.8% of the economy being shipping industries (The world factbook, 2016). Besides that, the Apple Company is also located on the Fifth Avenue (Apple store, fifth avenue, 2016). All this helps provide a convenient life for the New York citizens.

However, the world leading industries has caused global and environmental threats, which are issues the governing leader has to face. The truth is, the governing style helped respond to both global and environmental threats by strong military forces and raising public awareness (Oreskes, 2016). Terrorism such as ISIS has been a threat to the US since 2013 (Syria Iraq: The islamic state militant group, 2014). As the first place of the world ranking for the strongest military force in the US, which has 145,215,000 manpower available, US has kept the citizens quite safe from ISIS (United States of America military strength, 2016). For environmental threats, all kinds of pollution such as air pollution, and noise and light pollutions are seen and the New York government had responded by raising public awareness (Cost of living in New York, 2016). All these responds to threats gave the citizens a safe place to live in.

The governing leader and government style also increased the art perspectives of the citizens. As the 3rd richest country and 17,970 billion US dollars, New York has more than 48 museums for citizens to visit. (The world factbook, 2016). These museums collect all artworks from the world, including well known artists such as Monet, Vincent van Gogh, and Pablo Picasso in the Museum of Modern Art (Burnett & Klein, 2016). Besides, New York provide educational sources in museums for citizens to use (Museum facts, 2016). There are approximately 850 million of museum visitors in the US everyday (Museum facts, 2016). As you can see, this can be one of the reasons why the literacy rate in New York is higher than any other countries. As a result, these museums did increase art perspectives and literacy rates of the New York citizens.

High tech industries, strong military forces, and education resources such as museums has provided citizens a convenient, safe, and fun place to live in, which is the reason why people from other parts of the world flock to this great city.
